Last Minute reminder - Poetry Workshop & Open Mic Tonight!

Just a quick last minute reminder from Zach,

Join us tonight as we bring 3 of the most talented writers and performers in the nation to Albuquerque for a writing workshop and performance (plus an open mic for you all to share your work and maybe win $200 worth of prizes!)

I cannot say enough about my respects for these three women and their fire tongues~ poetry dances from them like small flames in the fireplace on winter evenings- you don't want to miss it!

$5 suggested donation each for the workshop and the showcase- a great way to spend your sunday and start the week off with verse!

Hope to see you there!
